Thanks. That's only in the 1.59-5 StrongHelp.

You need to make in clear under "criterion" that it can't contain //,
or better still, do without comments before rules or use || which is
very unlikely to appear in a header, or make the separator " //" with
a preceding space, or have an escape sequence for /, or have a
preceding comment start with / at the start of the line. My preference
is to have a comment after the rule, not in front of it.
